I just stumbled across this site while looking for some information on convoy make up in the Pacific. I haven't yet found what I was looking for but found some interesting information here:

http://www.usmm.net/armycargo.html

I know that some of the information includes Atlantic shipping also (and I don't think it includes US Navy shipping) but, as I read it there were no heavy or medium bombers shipped crated and this really blew me away, there were a great number (looks like the majority) of aircraft shipped on Tankers.

Thought I would share the site and the information. BTW, if anybody has information regarding size and make up of the Pacific convoys I would appreciate having it.

Many thanks. Seems to be very interesting.

Yes I had looked at this. Maybe some info buried deep but a cursory check didn't give me details on what they consisted of.

What I'm trying to accomplish is to try and set up realistic size and consist (including escorts). I have been sending them off as filled on the West Coast and New Orleans and without escort. I have gamely (sic) sent all my destroyers ahead to Australia to perform ASW duties. But that isn't right.
